Polishing and waxing
• Normally, polishing is not required during
the first year after delivery, however, waxing
may be beneficial.
• Before applying polish or wax the vehicle
must be washed and dried. Tar spots can
be removed with kerosene or tar remover.
Difficult spots may require a fine rubbing
compound.
• After polishing use liquid or paste wax.
• Several commercially available products
contain both polish and wax.
• Waxing alone does not substitute for polishing
a dull surface.
• A wide range of polymer-based car waxes
can be purchased today. These waxes are
easy to use and produce a long-lasting,
high-gloss finish that protects the bodywork
against oxidation, road dirt and fading.
• Do not polish or wax your vehicle in direct
sunlight (the surface of the vehicle should
not be warmer than 113° F (45° C).
CAUTION
Volvo does not recommend the use of longlife
or durable paint protection coatings,
some of which may claim to prevent pitting,
fading, oxidation, etc. These coatings have
not been tested by Volvo for compatibility
with your vehicle's clear coat. Some of them
may cause the clear coat to soften, crack,
or cloud. Damage caused by application of
paint protection coatings may not be covered
under your vehicle's paint warranty.
